I sand blasted my stock IROC rims, but then spent many, many hours sanding them then polishing them.

Sand blasting the rough areas will work well, but you may want to just try aircraft stripper first. It'll make life a lot easier on you with respect to the smooth areas.

sandblasting will work great as long as you dont spend too much time with the gun in one spot. what are you planning on doing with them?
